Network Security

Network Security

Network security is a critical part of every company’s life. It is designed to protect the availability and integrity of networks. It detects possible threats and stops them from compromising and causing damage to a corporation’s network infrastructure.

Every day, breaches occur all around the world. Some are minor, with minimal data, while many are severe. Get proactive solutions that protect your entire business.

Benefits

Some of the advantages of network security for modern enterprises:

  • Protection of sensitive information on the network.

  • Risk Mitigation.

  • Enables a more modern workplace such as work remotely using secure VPN.

  • Access control of your entire network.

  • Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

Services

Firewalls

Firewalls act as a boundary between your trusted internal system and unverified external networks. Think of a firewall as a first line of defense—they protect your network by monitoring incoming against an established set of network rules and policies.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Virtual private networks (or VPNs) offer network protection for remote work by encrypting the contact between an endpoint to a network or system over the Internet. Most often, remote-access VPNs operate by using Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to authenticate communications from devices to secure networks.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-factor authentication secures your access by requiring a second level of verification before providing users’ access. Users give extra identification verification when accessing accounts or apps, such as entering token code or authorizing by phone or app. That adds an extra security layer on the authentication process.

Email Security

Email security breaches are the most common threat to a network’s security. Using personal information and sophisticated marketing and social engineering tactics allows attackers to deceive recipients into accepting phishing campaigns, downloading malware, and following suspicious links. Email security applications block incoming attacks, filter potential threats, and prevent outgoing emails from sharing certain data and spreading malware through users’ contact lists.

Web security

Web security functions by limiting access to certain websites that may contain malware. By controlling web use, it can also block certain web-based threats and protect against malicious sites.

Mobile Device Management

MDM (mobile device management) is a form of security software that allows businesses to protect, monitor, control, and enforce regulations on their employees’ mobile devices. Its main goal is to secure the corporate network by protecting and optimizing mobile devices that connect to workplace networks, such as laptops, smartphones, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices.

Antivirus and anti-malware software

Malware, short for “malicious software,” takes many forms to attack your network, including viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware, or ransomware. While some malware acts immediately to steal or corrupt data, other malware is more stealthy, lying dormant before secretly infiltrating systems and information. 

Top antivirus and anti-malware software programs will not just scan and monitor networks for malware upon entry, but will continuously monitor the network for suspicious behavior and anomalies to help mitigate risk and protect against threats.

Network Access Control

Network Access Control (NAC) controls access to sensitive areas within the network. By recognizing each user and each divide, you can limit access to only known users and devices and block or limit access to unrecognized devices and users.

Security information and event management (SIEMs)

SIEM technologies, similar to intrusion prevention systems (IPS), provide real-time analysis of network traffic and historical data, providing system admins with a complete view of network activity. This information is then combined with intrusion detection systems, giving the ability to identify and respond to potential threats.

Risk Management

The goal of network risk management is to discover, analyze, and control risks to an organization’s services.
